Which changes occur when Pt2+ is reduced?

Chemistry

Answer: Option (2) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When an element or compound gain electrons then this means the element is undergoing reduction.

Also, in reduction oxidation number of the element decreases.

For example, $Pt^{2+} + 1e^{-} \rightarrow Pt^{+1}$

Thus, we can conclude that the $Pt^{2+}$ gains electrons and its oxidation number decreases.

The correct answer is option 2. When Pt2+ is reduced it loses electrons, oxidizing it. The oxidation number is the charge of the atom. Adding an electron, decreases the net charge consequently the oxidation number.

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

The cations and anions being oppositely charged attract each other through strong coloumbic forces and form an ionic bond.

The atomic masses of any two elements contain the same number of

den301095 [7]

Answer:

They contain of atoms

Explanation:

That's because atomic weights or masses of each atom of each element are proportional to each other, the same number of atoms of each element will give masses that are also proportional to each other. If you start with 20 oxygen atoms, you will need 40 hydrogen atoms to make the water and you will get 20 molecules of water.

Draw the structure for cis-2,3-dibromo-2-hexene.

padilas [110]

First, draw the 2-hexene. Th is is a molecule of six carbons with a double bond in the second carbon:

      CH3 - CH = CH2 - CH2 - CH2 - CH3

Secong, put one Br on the second carbon and one Br on the third carbon:

    CH3 - CBr = CBr - CH2 - CH2 - CH3

Third, cis means that the two Br are placed in opposed positions, this is drawn with one Br up and the other down. So, you need to represent the position of the Br in the space:

      H   Br        H    H      H
       |    |           |       |    |
H - C - C = C - C - C - C - H
       |           |    |       |    |
      H          Br H     H      H

The important fact to realize is that the two Br are in opposed sides of the molecule.
